《The Priest》歌词

[00:00:01] The Priest - Joni Mitchell

[00:00:18] The priest sat in the airport bar

[00:00:21] He was wearing his father's tie

[00:00:27] And his eyes looked into my eyes so far

[00:00:30] Whenever the words ran dry

[00:00:37] Behind the lash and the circles blue

[00:00:39] He looked as only a priest can thru

[00:00:45] And his eyes said me and his eyes said you

[00:00:52] And my eyes said let us try

[00:01:07] He said "You wouldn't like it here

[00:01:10] No it's no place you should share

[00:01:16] The roof is ripped with hurricanes

[00:01:18] And the room is always bare

[00:01:25] I need the wind and I seek the cold"

[00:01:28] He reached post the wine for my hand to hold

[00:01:33] And he saw me young and he saw me old

[00:01:41] And he saw me sitting there

[00:01:56] Then he took his contradictions out

[00:01:59] And he splashed them on my brow

[00:02:05] So which words was I then to doubt

[00:02:08] When choosing what to vow

[00:02:13] Should I choose them all-should I make them mine

[00:02:16] The sermons the hymns and the valentines

[00:02:22] And he asked for truth and he asked for time

[00:02:30] And he asked for only now

[00:02:37] Now the trials are trumpet scored

[00:02:40] Oh will we pass the test

[00:02:45] Or just as one loves more and more

[00:02:49] Will one love less and less

[00:02:55] Oh come let's run from this ring we're in

[00:02:57] Where the Christians clap and the Germans grin

[00:03:06] Saying let them lose crying let them win

[00:03:14] Oh make them both confess
